I made this to have all the important points of Unit 3 to study for the AP exam, so some cards have a lot on them. This set is more of a notes kind of flash cards with concepts, formulas, and notes I need to understand certain concepts and memorize them. I hope these can also help others study for their Unit 3 tests or the final AP Chem exam!!
Intramolecular Forces
occur between elements inside of a compound
Ionic, Covalent, Network Covalent, and Metallic
Stronger than intermolecular forces
Intermolecular Forces
occurs between covalent molecules (IMFs)
London Dispersion Forces
Present in non-polar covalent, polar covalent, and non-metals (all molecular covalent covalent compounds)
Weakest IMF
Low melting and boiling points
Electron cloud density gets momentarily distorted, creating a very temporary dipole moment (POLARIZABILITY), so as the # of electrons increases, the chance of polarizability increases
“More total electrons leads to a more polarizable electron cloud, which causes increases temporary dipole-moments, which leads to stronger london dispersion forces and stronger attractions.”
polarizability can cause a non-polar covalent substance to have a higher boiling/melting point than a polar covalent substance
if two compounds have the exact same elements and # of electrons, then the compound with the most surface area will be the post polarizable and have stronger London Dispersion Forces
Dipole-Dipole
present in polar covalent molecules
partial positive and partial negative ends always create attractions with other molecules
medium force
medium melting and boiling points
the greater the dipole-moment, the stronger the dipole-dipole forces
Hydrogen Bonding Forces
present in polar covalent molecules with H-F, H-O, or H-N bonds
particle positive and partial negative always attract
the large difference n electronegativity between H and F,O, or N creates a strong dipole moment
the more hydrogen bonds, the stronger the attractions
strong force
high melting and boiling points
Volatility
the ease of evaporation
strong IMFs cause _ volatility and weak IMFs cause _ volatility
low, high
Vapor Pressure
the pressure exerted by gaseous molecules at the surface of a liquid
always present in a liquid no matter the temperature since some molecules will always have enough energy to overcome IMFs
At a fixed temperature, strong IMFs cause _ vapor pressure and weak IMFs cause _ vapor pressure
low, high
Increasing temperature causes an _ in vapor pressure
increase
Decreasing temperature causes an _ in vapor pressure
decrease
Vapor pressure “over water” =
total pressure - vapor pressure
Boiling occurs when …
vapor pressure = atmospheric pressure
Phase equilibrium
when the rate of vaporization and condensation in a closed container are equal
Answering Free Response questions over IMFs
Identify all the attractions/present in both substances
state which substance has greater/weaker attractions
Different forces? stronger force = greater attractions
If both have H-bonding, more H-bonding = greater attractions
If both have the same forces and # of electrons, more surface area = greater attractions
If results are unexpected, it’s probably due to strong London Dispersion Forces (due to polarizability)
Relate strength of attractions to the property, and make sure to answer the question asked
If you’re asked to explain why SiO2 has a higher melting/boiling point than another covalent molecule,
it’s most likely because SIO2 is Network Covalent and the other molecules is molecular covalent!!
STP conditions
273 K/0° c and 1 atm
Ideal Gas Law
PV = nRT
PV = (m/M) RT
M = DRT/P
Combined Gas Law
P1V1/n1T1 = P2V2/n2T2
Boyle’s Law
P1V1 = P2V2
↑ P = ↓ V
↓ P = ↑ V
Charles’ Law
V1/T1 = V2/T2
↑ T = ↑ V
↓ T = ↓ V
Gay Lussac’s Law
P1/T1 = P2/T2
↑ T = ↑ P
↓ T = ↓ P
Avogadro’s Law
V1/n1 = V2/n2
↑ n = ↑ V
↓ n = ↓ V
equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal #s of particles (moles) even if the gases are different!!
V1/m1 = V2/m2 OR V1/m1 = 22.4 L/m2
Fewer moles = smaller volume
More moles = larger volume
Kinetic-Molecular Theory
Gas particles are tiny, so their size is negligible compared to the average distance between them
Particles move in straight line paths, random directions, and at various speeds
Gas particles collide frequently with the sides of the containers and less frequently with each other and these collisions are elastic so no kinetic energy is gained or lost
Gas particles do not attract or repel each other because there are no IMFS
↑ KE = ↑ T
Gases will deviate from ideal behaviors at _ temperatures and _ pressure, or if IMFs are _.
low, high
At these conditions, the molecules are close together, and the space between them is no longer negligible.
Gases behave most ideally at _ temperatures and _ pressure, or if IMFs are _.
high, low
At these conditions, the molecules are far apart, so they behave ideally.
Gases at different temperatures
↑ T = ↑ average particle speed, ↑ total kinetic energy, and the bell flattens out and widens
Different gases at the same temperature
all gases are at the same temperature, so their kinetic energy is the same
↑ molar mass = ↓ speed
Grams Law
if two gases are at the same temperature, the gas with the greater molar mass will be slower
KE = ½ (mass) (velocity)²
Diffusion
gases mix together
Effusion
gases escape through a small hole
Daltons Law of Parical Pressure
If a solution of two or more gases do not react chemically, the total pressure can be found by adding up the partial pressures
This can only be done if the pressures you’re adding up were collected at the same conditions
Multiple gases : Ptotal = Pa + Pb + Pc …
One gas : PA + Ptotal ∙ moles A/total moles (mole- fraction)
Mole fraction = pressure fraction
Collection of Gas Over Water
Pgas = Ptotal - Pwater
if pressures are in different units, convert them!
this only works with non-polar gases at won’t dissolve!
temp of gas =temp of room
If we move the collection tube up/down so that the water inside the tube is equal to the level of water in the beaker, we can assume the total pressure of the gas and water vapor together us the same as the atmospheric pressure
One the collection tube has been moved into place, we can record the volume of gas collected
Then you can calculate the moles!

Separating Gases
Gases will always dissolve in each other because all IMFs have been broken
Interparticle interactions when forming solutions
Solute-solute interactions must be broken in an endothermic process
Solvent-solvent interactions must be broken in an endothermic process
Solvent-solute interactions must be formed in an exothermic process
If the new interactions that are formed are comparable (similar) in strength to the original interactions…
then the two substances are more likely to dissolve in each other (soluble/miscible)
If the new interactions that are formed are much weaker (different) than the original interactions…
then the two substances are more likely to not dissolve in each other (insoluble/immiscible)
Substances with _ intermolecular interactions tend to be miscible (soluble) in one another.
